wikiIPMI Sensor Types table
The IPMI specification provides several differentsensor types. You can limit the monitored sensor types when you are using the IPMI Sensor Monitoring Plugin and FreeIPMI. In this article we list all the appropriate types as well as the description of the corresponding parameter for FreeIPMI (this parameter can be used in the plugin).
The information in the following table is taken from Table 42-3 Sensor Type Codes of the IPMI specification:[1]
